Critically analyse the role of culture in regeneration. How apt is the metaphor of culture war?

“As cities are replanned, rezoned and rebuilt, culture is increasingly used as a developer’s battering ram, and artists worldwide are having to assess what their relationship is to the things they make and the ways they live. This, then is a different kind of culture war.” Nato Thompson, Culture as Weapon (2017) Critically analyse the role of culture in regeneration. How apt is the metaphor of culture war?

Write a paragraph summarizing the COVID-related and going concern matters.

COVID19, SEC, Going Concern!

Go to https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html to search for financial statements of companies.

Once there’ you will find some good information on how to search for companies. An easy way would be to simply click on latest filings and then specify ’10-K’ filings because those are the ones for audited financial statements.

When you are working on the COVID-19 related question, you may want to start off with specific companies (or industries) in mind and you can specifically search for those.

COVID 19 is the one thing that dominates the year 2020 in just about all areas of our lives.

The impact has been particularly significant on the economy, where business across different factors have been impacted operationally and financially.

Anything that potentially affects financial reporting is going to affect the financial statement audit.

Find, download and attach the financial statements (including notes and audit report) and highlight the relevant portions for a company that identify a company with that has been negatively affected by COVID and is potentially facing going concern issues.

These going concern issues may have been identified and disclosed by the company or by the auditors.

What are your impressions of this restoration plan? Is it detailed enough to give you a sense of the scope of the project? Is anything missing? What have you learned about endangered species restoration from this case study?

Endangered Species

Instructions: Restoring habitat for endangered species has occurred across a wide range of ecosystem types and has been quite successful in some cases. For this assignment,locate a restoration plan that specifically addresses habitat for endangered species.

If you are affiliated with the military, you may find some interesting plans for restoring species on bases all over the US. Once you’ve located your case study, prepare a 3-4 double-spaced page paper addressing the following sections:

Problems and Goals: Why was this project initiated? Why is the particular species endangered? What were the major goals and/or objectives of this project?

Location and Challenges: Where is this project located? Why was this location chosen? Were there any particular challenges associated with the site?

Reference Conditions: Are any reference conditions or sites mentioned? Were these taken into account when designing the project?

Outcomes: What were the outcomes of the project? If none are listed, what do you anticipate as the outcomes?

General Impressions: What are your impressions of this restoration plan? Is it detailed enough to give you a sense of the scope of the project? Is anything missing? What have you learned about endangered species restoration from this case study?

Write in a professional tone for an academic and scientific audience. Always credit authors and reference sources for their ideas and information. Follow APA style format. The reference list does not count towards the total page length.

Consider the following-Does this pay structure make good business sense? Do you think it is consistent with the organization’s business strategy? What are the implications of this pay structure for other HR systems, such as retention and recruiting?

 

You will prepare the SHRM case analysis on “Designing a Pay Structure,” which consists of your completion of Tasks A–J that simulate the creation of a compensation system for an organization in meeting its goals and supporting its mission.

In your analysis, respond to the following tasks found in the case study by using Excel.

Your case analysis should consist of:

Task A: Create a complete job description for the benefits manager position using O NET.

Task B: Calculate the job evaluation points for the administrative assistant, payroll assistant, operational analyst, and benefits manager jobs. Provide a rationale for assigning specific degrees to the various jobs.

Task C: If there were any outliers (i.e., extreme data points) in the data, what would you recommend doing with them? From this point forward, assume no extreme data points exist in the dataset.

Task D: Conduct a simple regression in Excel to create a market pay line by entering the job evaluation points (on the X axis) and the respective weighted average market base pay (on the Y axis) for each benchmark job.

Task E: What is your R squared (variance explained)? Is it sufficient to proceed?

Task F: Calculate the predicted base pay for each benchmark job.

Task G: Because your company wants to lead in base pay by 3%, adjust the predicted pay rates to determine the base pay rate you will offer for each benchmark job.

Task H: Create pay grades by combining any benchmark jobs that are substantially comparable for pay purposes. Clearly label your pay grades and explain why you combined any benchmark jobs to form a grade.

Task I: Use your answer to Task H to determine the pay range (i.e., minimum and maximum) for each pay grade.

Task J: Given the pay structure you have generated, consider the following: Does this pay structure make good business sense? Do you think it is consistent with the organization’s business strategy? What are the implications of this pay structure for other HR systems, such as retention and recruiting?

Your analysis of this case and your written submission should reflect an understanding of the critical issues of the case, integrating the material covered in the text, and present concise and well-reasoned justifications for the stance that you take.

You are to complete this case analysis using Excel in a spreadsheet analysis format.

The case analysis should contain Tasks A–J stated in the case in Excel. Check for correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and usage. Citations should be in APA style.
